In 2004, for the first time in a wristwatch, the spherical moon phase indication emerged from a sub-dial rotating on its own axis. The perpetual calendar mechanism, which was the first to be produced entirely at the Manufacture, has an additional world-first function of rapid date adjustment by an intermediate position of the winding crown.
